Lenny Kravitz heals rift with his late father on his new album
Lenny Kravitz’ new album lifts the lid on his rift with his late father, Sy. The singer left the family home when he was just 15-years-old because he couldn’t bear to watch his father regularly cheat on his mother.
He says, “We never saw eye to eye and I moved out when I was 15. I was a mama’s boy, and his infidelities were something I took personally.” The pair met and reconciled shortly before Sy died in 2005. In new track A Long and Sad Goodbye – from Kravitz’ latest album It is Time for a Love Revolution – he sings, “Papa why did you turn your back? Why didn’t you stay on track?”

wasn’t this guy married and doesn’t he have a kid too? you would think he would grow up and realize that sh#$ happens and he just needs to let the past go. too many people hold on to the past and then it is way too easy to blame present life on something from the past. not condoning cheating, but speaking from experience.
